It is theoretically possible to make a system that would let people make personal copies of software, songs etc for backup purposes and do all the other things they should be able to do with something they have bought, without letting them give copies to everyone for free or otherwise go into competition with the creator without doing any work themselves. Just no such system has been made because publishers want an unfair system.
